    To play the devils advocate here, maybe music man has gotten ridiculed before with this question on his music preference. When I’m driving by myself, I’ll fire up youtube and listen to all sorts of random stuff. But I’d never subject my wife to it as I know we don’t share interest in some things.

        I don’t have an answer for that. I’m not saying he handled it right, just trying to come up with some sort of mindset he may have had to respond like this at all.

        I’d think it would feel bad having to lie about the music you listen to. Maybe music man is already past denial and in acceptance, just not telling anyone.

        But perhaps they’re just a douche.

      That’s the perfect moment to know if someone will ridicule you for your music choices. If it happens, you stop the conversation right there and save yourself the trouble of a awful first date.

      Well, even saying that you can’t remember the song because you snorted cocaine out of your adult diaper is better than being a jerk.

      My musical taste is cringe and my spouse has known it since we started dating years ago. Never felt the need to hide it from them. Good partners can respect each other’s preferences, so there’s zero need to hide what you enjoy.

      I would share my music taste more openly if the opportunity arose, but more often than not, I’m either out of data or the song on YouTube has gone (!)
